While André 3000 has been busy "recording a solo album," hawking Gillette razors/beard trimmers, and re-coveringHendrix covers ... Big Boi's somehow managed to record & release 2 solo projects and produce the bulk of an album for Modest Mouse. All of this has collectively happened since OutKast's long-lost last album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below was released (2003) and on the heels of a long-rumored new album from the group, which no one really knows "if or when that will ever happen." Big Boi is currently putting a few final touches on his second solo LP, Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors; This one's essentially the sequel to Sir Lucious Left Foot:The Son of Chico Dusty and it's currently slated for a Nov. 13th wide release.

"She Said OK" is a mega-sized sultry cut that's co-piloted by Big Boi and Brooklyn Hipster R&B rapper Theophilus London, along with background crooner Tre Luce and Soulful producer Chris Carmouche. Big Boi cleverly laces up the laid-back beat with a bunch of sexual innuendos and rather slick double entendres. "She Said OK" now has a softcore, slightly NSFW music video directed by Alexi Papalexopoulos to go along with the digital wordplay. For the most part, it features Big Boi strewn across a curvey woman's lower regions, while she's covering up her boobs with her hands and he continues to [effortlessly] rap, barely flinching, the entire time. Big Boi recently told SPIN that Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumors will also feature collaborative tracks with the likes of Little Dragon, Phantogram, A$AP Rocky, Kid Cudi, UGK, and Big K.R.I.T. Vicious Lies... is planned for a Nov. 13th release, while André 3000's upcoming Hendrix film - "All Is By My Side" and God-willing, that new OutKast album should be out by mid-2013!

About Me

Greetings, people of the world... Matt Horowitz aka "The Witzard" here. I'm a 28-year-old college grad hailing from South Jersey. After receiving degrees in both Journalism and Business Management, I started this very blog around 2010 in an effort to share my vast knowledge of Pop Culture to help sharpen my writing chops. I thoroughly enjoy all things Pop Culture and some of my favorite genres include Punk, Hip-Hop, Indie Rock, etc. But I'll practically listen to anything once. I'm also an avid record collector and honestly, almost anything sounds better on wax! Thank you kindly for listening... Your support is much appreciated! Peace & love. sharpcheddar856@gmail.com
